Thanksgiving Recap

I know, I know. Everyone's blogging about their Christmases by now, but I thought I would throw you a curveball and tell you all about our Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving Extravaganza 2.0!

We had such a great Thanksgiving this year celebrating with friends! Our Pasadena friends Lauren and Andrew, Robin (we missed you Ben!), and Darcy & Adam, all came down for the day on Thursday for food and fun!

We almost doubled our guest-list this year from last year, so I was a little intimidated at first that it would be lots of work, but it actually ended up being so much easier as everyone handled a couple of dishes.

Andrew provided us with a wonderful turkey, made with love!

As usual, the food was abundant and tasty!


The whole crew!!

After dinner, we all were feeling the turkey lethargy, so we crashed while watching Goonies but I think only the boys were entertained enough to stay awake!

We closed out our night with a friendly round of Loaded Questions. It was a great day of food, friends, and fun.

Our Thanksgiving weekend is always relaxing as we both get to be home for several days in a row! What a treat! We were so excited because the Holladays were home from NY so, in honor, we all got together for a much-anticipated Settlers tournament.



I don't mean to brag, but I did go home with a Lord of Catan title in my pocket.

Happy belated Thanksgiving! Oh, and Merry Christmas too!

i may appear happy in that last picture, but this was right before my wife and mr. holladay teamed up to screw me over and ruin my chances of claiming dominion over the land of catan.

for this i will forever hold a deep grudge...
